Default 1982 Engine Compartment

I bought an 82 with a motor that had been removed and disassembled. Can someone send me some good pictures. I am mainly concerned with accessory brackets. stingrayplace@yahoo.com Thanks, Mark

You need to purchase a copy of the '82 AIM (assembly instruction manual). It has all of the information/drawings you need to install the engine as the factory did. Additional photos would be beneficial, but photos don't show the details of installation.

The AIM will show all of the various brackets and parts installed on the engine at the plant. It will also show correct belt routing, etc.

I agree with the AIM manual. I am also redoing an 82 that I got partially disassembled. I can send a few photos of some of the before shots and I am about 75% back together now. Let me see what I can send and I can send more as I go along and finish up.

82 underhood pics. Factory finishes look pretty good in these.





Nice, but not particularly good for brackets and assorted hardware.
